Weeping Willow Lyrics
The snow won’t stick to the weeping willows
the cold air won’t blow open the windows
You’ve made it through the storm this far
You can do this, dear, it won’t be hard
The snow won’t stick to the weeping willows
There will be tomorrow
the sun will light a sea of sorrow
Tonight it set and took our friend
If I could do one thing, I’d bring him back
Snow won’t stick to the weeping willows
Summer was painted on our skin
and those secrets hidden in our childish lips
they would die for a kiss
Fall was always left in your eyes
just a fleck of yellow light
like the sunrise
like the twilight
the cold air won’t blow open the windows
You’ve made it through the storm this far
You can do this, dear, it won’t be hard
The snow won’t stick to the weeping willows
the sun will light a sea of sorrow
Tonight it set and took our friend
If I could do one thing, I’d bring him back
Snow won’t stick to the weeping willows
and those secrets hidden in our childish lips
they would die for a kiss
just a fleck of yellow light
like the sunrise
like the twilight

This song is written about my little brother who passed away last January of cancer...I have the lyric 'if i could do one thing, i'd bring him back' tattooed on my left arm. I love this song and cherish this record...the hush sound is amazing!
Wow, so they wrote the song for you? Or are you someone in the band?
Going by what is written on their site, the song is about a close friend of Greta's who died of cancer and she wrote the song the night he was taken off life support. Amazing song!
this song is amazing, and sorry to hear about that jaskular.. greta has a beautiful voice.
I'm zoning out trying to analyze the song... but it simply means what you guys have said up there.
(I'm just using my analytical skills to see if I could see what it means without having to look it up here...)
And I must say, I loved the way this band writes...
This song was written for one of Greta's dead friends, it's talking about their young idyllic days when they were free, whimsical, and happy. Greta uses names of seasons in her descriptions in a way that especially adds beauty to your mental pictures of the song.
What's up with Greta? So many friends gone (if what lilyflowerlives is correct).
Greta's abundant experience with death obviousl allows her to write so poetically and insightfully.
i don't know why, but this song reminds me of the book Coram Boy...
Out of all of their songs, this is probably my favorite by The Hush Sound. I just love Greta's voice during this song, she sounds so innocent and young.
